Message JefVerstraete beers 7047 º places 216 º 10:00 Tue 5/23/2017 I just mentioned Poland is doing good in top 50. Buba Extreme Jack Daniels pops up on spot 23. Poland is doing very well in my opinion. Keep up making lovely beers!
Message DSG P beers 25798 º places 162 º 14:56 Tue 5/23/2017 Hah. How I love "does not count" ratings that actually count and help a beer get into the top 50... :(

Message Countbeer beers 6586 º places 259 º 15:00 Tue 5/23/2017 Rockmill Juicy Delight was insane!

Message rouhlas P admin beers 5623 º places 348 º 15:35 Tue 5/23/2017 I had the other two beers of the series.. the Cognac and the Calvados versions. We had them in a tasting among many great beers so the "competition" was quite hard for those and my rating was 3.5 for both. Hopefully I will find them along with the Jack Daniels version and try them again!

Like I told you, JD was the way better version. absolutely a great beer. not sure if really top 50, but you should seek it out nevertheless :)

If so, whilst the 2 non-counting ratings don’t count for calculating the score, they seem to count for calculating the required number of ratings to qualify for the list.
Message rami_pl beers 11425 º places 148 º 01:49 Wed 5/24/2017 For me Buba Extreme JD is the best polish beer, period. Still, like Kraddel: "not sure if really top 50" (but that sentence is true for a lot of top50 beers) :) best regards from Poland :)

Message ElManana beers 2078 º places 3 º 02:31 Wed 5/24/2017 Very much hit & miss. I order beers from Poland quite often, I’d say about half of them have Diacetyl. No exaggeration. Tried all the breweries, and they all have problems with it. Luckily for me, I’m not very sensitive to it.
Message martjoobolut beers 9886 º places 734 º 03:29 Wed 5/24/2017 It is very over the top and silly, tastes exactly like you think eisbocked quad would taste (sweet and boozy). Hence I’m sure it would be also in top, if it was made by hyped American brewery :) Have also the Calvados version, may keep it for RBESG, will see. Top rated polish beers are really hit and miss to me, some are overrated, some are actually good. I haven’t noticed diacetyl problem with Polish stuff (and I am very sensitive to diacetyl), at least not compared to Lithuanian beers where more than 90% beers have diacetyl issues (as I understand Lithuanians see it more as a feature than a bug...).
Message FatPhil P beers 26061 º places 995 º 03:55 Wed 5/24/2017 If you were to be able to remove the Polish ratings, there would be a handful of Belgians who liked it a lot, and then a bunch of Estonian haters (OK, I exagerate, 3.7, 3.6, 3.5, and 3.4, IIRC), and this beer would barely register. The ability to filter out local raters (or at least have summary stats divided into locals and remotes) would be a very interesting feature for the site. Of course, sometimes the hype travels with the bottle.
